I'm free writing this novella. Zero outlining. Fun now, likely revision pain later.

The left side shows cover of the May 2024 issue of lightspeed, with the silhouette of a human figure standing atop the pages of a giant open book, with a glowing starry background. The right side has the opening text of the story: "This is our story, simplified. Life. Loss. Transformation. Love. Death. Iteration." The story then splits into columns such that the right column repeats the quote above. The left side has new verses: "The first time you get our message, you only find one thread. It mimics your language in its simplest form, a single strand of words laid end to end. You will have to work hard if you want to understand us properly. You must learn to hold more than one thread of language simultaneously in your mind. Donβt worry, we will help you develop the skills you need. We will keep one simple thread unchanged. At first you will glance back and forth between these words and those. Your attention is a strange, skittering thing, but we believe you can learn with repetition. For you, we are relearning how to teach. You can hear musical chords of multiple notes, even two strands of differing lyrics for short stretches of song. It helps to memorize the words. Your mind has a strange divide between learning and knowing. Read both columns, please. Every time. Can you commit our simplified story to memory? See just the shape of the words and know what is there? You have so little bandwidth, there might not be any other way. It is not ideal but we are desperate. We will repeat to help you understand."
Catching up on 2024 reading?
I wrote a story this year that I truly believe is something special. It is the most challenging thing I've ever attempted, and I'm proud of how it came out. I'd be honored if you consider it for your award ballots.
